Method
Make the Oreo crust
- Mix finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then refrigerate.
Make the cheesecake filling
- Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth with no lumps. Scrape down as needed so the mixture is uniform.
- Whip heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl to stiff peaks. Fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture in two additions.
- Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Tap the pan lightly to release any trapped air.
Chill and decorate
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set. Keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve.
- Before serving, pipe whipped cream around the edge in a starburst pattern. Scatter red and blue star sprinkles across the center and dust with crushed Oreos in a fireworks burst pattern.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, chill the cheesecake overnight and use a warm knife for each cut, wiping between slices. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended due to the whipped texture. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping, but note the set and texture may be slightly softer.
